Wish the hawks would get into that players tourny in vegas...pays out a million into nil pot for each team.
That tourny has most top programs outside Duke who has set up their own nil schedule with Amazon.

Would be a nice trip for hawk fans as well with chance to see 2 hawk games.

Talked with Ben McCollum about this last November. He contacted the Players Era folks and asked if they could be in it. They were not interested.

Does anyone know or have info on what or if early season tournament we might be playing in?

I wish we could make a trip to Maui soon... it's been since 2004 since we played in it and back in the day it seemed like we played in Maui or Alaska every couple years or so... the Battle 4 Atlantis was the last cool tournament we played in.
I've been hoping for Maui, but not looking good it will happen.

I heard the Players Era has had some problems paying the teams that competed, Virginia has already pulled out of next years Tournament.

Haven't heard anything on this topic for a while. I think the solution to the "less teams want to play us" is simple -join pre-season tournaments where you are guaranteed a couple of game against good (sometimes really good) opponents. Maui, Bahamas, Alaska, whatever.

For Example, last year we did the Acrisure Series and I thought it was good pre-season competition. No top 20 teams but no terrible teams either. We played a solid power 5 team in Ole Miss and I think Grand Canyon was a solid mid major team.
